I have pretty much just 3 websites I use regularly (here, youtube, twitch) and some random ones I look up if i need something specific. If I couldn’t block ads anymore, I dont think i’ll keep using youtube. I don’t expect anything meaningful regarding other people outside non-corporate services anyway.

reksas@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•would you rather retire or cryogenically freeze yourself to see a new world?7·1 day agoEven if I wanted to be frozen, there is no point. One would have no guarantees that you wouldn’t just be thawed and disposed later so the company can sell more stasis slots. Or if they decide to even try to keep their word, they could maintain your stasis so badly that you would die from that or maybe thaw partially occasionally or something. Unless you are billionaire and could afford somekind of insurance that makes sure nothing happens to you, there would be absolutely nothing protecting you.
And even if everything went according to plan, society could collapse in such way maintaining the stasis could become impossible due to lack of resources.
reksas@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•They put A.I. in my truck. It warns me of everything I do wrong verbally. It reports everything to HQ. It is from a company called Solera. I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything?4·4 days agoIn the end, your mental and physical health should always come before the job. Money isn’t that nice if you are stressed wreck. You should still look for other work just so you at least have some options if it ever gets too awful dealing with all the bullshit your current work forces on you. It’s probably not going to get much better and any solution regarding disabling/mitigating the current surveillance is likely temporary at best.
Just try to do it in such way your current employer doesn’t know about it, just in case they get uppity about it. So use only devices managed by yourself for it and dont talk about it with others working for same employer.

I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything?181·4 days agoIts understandable though. Even though its also understandable the company would want to know where the trucks are, its also telling the drivers that they dont really trust them to do their job without surveillance. It should be enough that the freight gets delivered within agreed time and not too much fuel is used up in the process.
Personally i would compare the gps to office having sensors that record constantly which room you are occupying. With the ai its like having a camera constantly monitor exactly what are you doing at every given moment. And if you do anything company doesn’t like you will be punished. Not only is it insulting, its exhausting having to ceaselessly consider is everything you are doing acceptable to whatever sensible or insensible rules the corporate executives have decided.
People who want to be truckers most likely are kind of people who like working by themselves and not having to answer for every single thing they do at every moment and now even that is being taken away from them.

reksas@sopuli.xyzto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The youtube algorithm is so bad, I say to my screen "why the fuck would I care about this!?" like 10 times a day.1·28 days agothat is also good way to do it, i used to do that too until i noticed the recommendations were actually worth my time. I dont think there is too much malicious meddling with them either since I have had videos recommended i dont think any corporate executive would even want me to see but still i try to be wary.
reksas@sopuli.xyzto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The youtube algorithm is so bad, I say to my screen "why the fuck would I care about this!?" like 10 times a day.3·29 days agoyou need to clean your watch history. Remove any video you dont want affecting the recommendations and if you accidentally watch some video like that then you need to remove it from history. If you dont have history on then I have no clue how it recommends stuff though. I dont think it bases it on every single thing on the history or maybe it weights recent videos more heavily.
I recently had it recommend way too much certain kinds of videos after i watched a bunch of them and it reverted to what it recommended earlier when i removed most of the ones i watched earlier.

reksas@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I'm looking for medical misinformation on the internet. Where should I be looking for it?7·2 months agoask your patients where they are getting their stuff from, that way you will also know what places are more popular than others.
reksas@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?3·2 months agodefinitely, i tested generating a song with random letter mess as “lyrics” and it sounded quite good to my ear.
Then again I dont really listen to music actively so maybe I just can’t tell all the crap from it like how some other people fall in love with ai chatbots because they dont know any better either.
at least its more equal than having people “volunteer” for service, even if the rich can still avoid it but its not like laws hold meaning to them anyway.
reksas@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can we talk organizing? Historic resistance movements? Tips? Tricks? Thoughts?4·3 months agoI have been thinking about this too. I cant say i know much but what keeps coming to my head about this is you need to have at least one friend/acquittance who thinks the same way and willing to start that group with you. If there are 2 of you its already a group and its much easier to do things and think about what to do next.
Protests should be considered mostly as a way of finding likeminded people instead of thinking they might change something. They might, but probably not. Still its worth it do them even if they dont seem to affect much. They show others there are people who care too.
To make such group mean something you really need to think what you ultimately want to achieve and how you should do it. Just demonstrating to other people that there are those willing to take action should do something. Just be smart about what you do and consider how your actions might affect the response so you are always prepared for consequences which will inevitably come if you manage to do do anything meaningful. So have a plan on how to stay safe and hidden and what to do if that fails so your group cant be easily crushed. Nowdays staying hidden is in another world compared to the historic movements, with how surveillance has advanced. So definitely try to get people aboard who know a lot about computers if you can.
Though there is always the route of trying to do stuff that doesnt cause hostile reaction from the authorities. Less danger but that is also playing by their rules and will have less impact unless you know what you are doing. Though no matter what approach one chooses, i think thinking outside the box is the key about finding what to do that works.
At least this is what comes to my mind about this, I cant say I have any experience about it though. Hopefully someone else knows better. I have been thinking about this too occasionally.

reksas@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there an instance for Democratic Socialists rather than Communists?3·3 months agoNo i just think it has its benefits and flaws. The flaws should be fixed and if they cant then something new should be came up with that that works better. Socialism is going in correct direction, possibly the only direction for worthwhile society. We just need to learn from the mistakes of the past.
Probably any instance where they would go.
